Our belief is that as people choose to serve, the impact of that service will change lives—for those serving, for the people they serve, and even for those who see them giving their time to help someone else.
It takes many volunteers to have thriving ministries at Orchard Beach. Are you willing to help? Our needs are as diverse as the people who attend our services. Your involvement matters because your service does make a difference. Many of the service opportunities, where we need your help, are listed below.
“All of you together are the one body of Christ and each of you is a separate and necessary part of it.” I Cor. 12:27 (LB)
At Orchard Beach, we believe prayer is the pursuit of all our possibilities. Prayer is the power to change lives. To touch the heart of God and to pursue all God has for us, we must be in prayer. A great way to lift up, support, and encourage one another is through committed prayer and care for one another. This team stops everything to pray for people privately and with people publically.

Making a great first-impression is important. People have been praying for and inviting others to come. When they do come, we want to provide the most warm and friendly welcome possible.
